Hello SAPStars,

Our functional consultants want us to create a folder in a file system which I have done

and created a user and group and added the user to that group,I have changed

the owner of the folder as user, Now When I logged in

with the username in FTP I see that he can navigate to all the folders, Can anyone help

me with the command to restrict the user to that folder (read, write, execute to this folder

only)

Thanks In Advance,

Harikrishna

Dear Harikrishna,

for vsftpd check /etc/vsftpd.conf for

chroot_local_user=YES

Set it to YES to limit navigation access to the folder.

If you are using pure-ftpd, check

ChrootEveryone  yes

and set it to YES.

Thanks,

Hannes

There are many implementations of FTP server which handle that differently. What FTP server software are you using?
